Full Agenda Coming Soon!

Featured Keynote Speaker: Stephen K. Klasko, MD, President & CEO, Jefferson Health

Dr. Stephen Klasko is a transformative leader and advocate for healthcare and higher education. His 2018 book, Bless This Mess: A Picture Story of Healthcare in America, follows on the heels of his highly successful 2016 book, We can Fix Healthcare, The Future is Now.

As president and CEO of Philadelphia-based Thomas Jefferson University and Jefferson Health since 2013, he has steered one of the nation’s fastest growing academic health institutions based on his vision of re-imagining healthcare and higher education. In his six years at the helm, Jefferson has grown from a one-university campus/two-hospital system to (after regulatory approval of the merger with Einstein Health Network) a two-university campus/18-hospital system with annual revenues of $6.1 billion and more than 35,000 employees.

His track record of success at creating and implementing programs that are shaping the future of healthcare earned him a place on Modern Healthcare’s list as #2 of the “100 Most Influential People in Healthcare” and “10 Most Influential Physician Executives” in 2018.

Fast Company Magazine named Dr. Klasko in 2018 as the only healthcare executive among the “25 Most Creative People in Business.” Earlier this year, Dr. Klasko was appointed as a governor to the World Economic Forum and led several panels in Davos, including “Healthcare with No Address” and “Self-Healing Humans.”
